They made two Stargirl movies (original Stargirl, and a spin-off (where Stargirl moves to Hollywood). The author of Stargirl also wrote another book about her experience after she moves away from Arizona (not to Hollywood). I thought the second book had a really good storyline.

Definitely without zero doubts: Caraval by Stephanie Garbner. I have a really hard time imagining scenes, but this book with all its imaginery and the soundtrack proposed me created the craving on me of seeing these scenes into the big screen. With the right CGI, scenarios and cast, it could be a great (and comfort) movie.

"The Hogfather" by Terry Pratchett.
I remember coming across this book in the public library as a kid, and it was just, one of the funniest, quirkiest books I have read. The creativity and the wild dialogue in that book is so strange and fun.
I enjoyed the movie, but I think it would do best as an animated feature. I would love to see a full animated feature in the same style as the cover art I remember of the original book.
Batman has dozens of movies...so why not Hogfather?
Reading is my fix.

One of Peter James Roy series novels. The detail in the novels are really good. I always wondered how a director or screenwriter would around the details

The book I just read. Raising the wild by Rosanna Andrea Feeken. I think it would make a great movie.

I keep thinking of one of my favourite childhood books, "Donde los árboles cantan" (where the trees sing, literally), by Laura Gallego (a great Spanish author, by the way) and wish there were a movie about it because it's honestly such a good story and deserves to be more known! Honestly, anything written by her is a masterpiece, not an exaggeration.

I'm so excited to see I'm not the only person who thinks Peter Jackson needs to adapt The Chronicles of Prydain! I'm rereading the series right now and wish I could top it off with a movie marathon of one of the best heroic arcs of all of fantasy!

I wish the book, "The Cabinet of Curiosities," by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, would be made into a movie.

A book that I would like to see adapted into a movie would be Things Fall apart by Chinue Achebe. I know that it has already been done but I would like to do more of it.
